    Help with gas milage!

    Not insulted, and I get it. I take my Honda CBR 1000 RR when I want great MPG (maybe my next bike will be a Harley?). That being said, I struggle to justify the poor MPG that many of these RAMs get. My old lifted 2500HD did about the same on mud tires. My friend owns a 2020 Silverado...

    Help with gas milage!

    Sorry to hear, but in my experience some RAM trucks (or maybe most?) get horrible fuel economy. I bought a 2021 Ram Rebel 1500 with the eTorque Hemi. My window sticker says 17 city / 19 combined / 22 highway. I'm getting 14.12 MPG in the 23,000 miles since I bought the truck (I have a...

    Stuck in snow

    I strongly suggest 4-Low. Unfortunately RAM does NOT allow you to turn off Traction and Stability control. You can only reduce it's functionality in 2-Hi and 4-Hi, but not turn it off. The only way to turn it off is to pull your ABS fuse or put the truck in 4x4 low. When going through deep...

    Holy crap is my new truck thirsty as hell!

    Best advice I can offer is, "It is what it is". eTorque gets you nothing for MPG. I have a 2021 eTorque Rebel and have never towed with it. My average is 14.5 mpg over the last year. Dealer can't get anywhere near the window sticker on a MPG test either. Oh, and your fuel economy will NOT...

    2021 Ram 2500 6.4 Average Gas Mileage

    Thanks for adding this info Frank -- It's very helpful since I'm not far from you (similar weather, fuel, etc)! As an FYI, I am averaging 14.7 mpg over the last 1 year-11k miles in an eTorque hybrid 1500 Ram Rebel. I run 87 octane with 10% ethanol at my dealer's recommendation. Based on...

    2021 Ram 2500 6.4 Average Gas Mileage

    On the topic of 6.4L fuel economy, can someone help me with a decision? I currently own a 2021 Ram Rebel 5.7L eTorque and am averaging 14.62 mpg since I purchased it brand new. I keep a spreadsheet of every fuel fillup, gallons, miles, destination, etc (these are not lie-o-meter numbers). I...

    etorque reliability

    Yep, I'm the guy digging up a 2-year old thread. Sorry about that. I have a 2021 Ram Rebel 4x4 with the eTorque. So far over I've driven just over 2000 miles, babying the heck out of my new investment. I'm averaging 13.5 MPG. I drove 5 hours of interstate and again averaged 13.5 MPG. The...

    2020 1500 eTorque with terrible MPG

    Same here! I own a 2021 Ram Rebel, 4x4, e-torque with 2000 miles on it, and my best tank was 14.56 hand calculated. I have absolutely babied this truck up until now, as I thought a 300 mile break in wasn't enough. While my truck was in for service last week (for the 1/2 dozen problems it...

    Ram warranty/customer service nightmare

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm a first-time RAM (2021 Rebel) owner and honestly I'm pretty disappointed with my first 1,500 miles. I've had problem after problem with my truck and not one has been fixed yet. Thankfully I have a wonderful dealer doing their best to help me. If could...

    My 2021 Rebel is Averaging 12 mpg in local....Is that normal

    ...Best post on this page!!! I'm having the same problem as others. 2021 Ram Rebel w/ eTorque. My hand-calculated MPG is terrible. 12.6, 13.7, 13.0, 14.5 MPG on each tank. Truck is now at 1,500 miles. The 14.5 MPG tank was hypermiling to the extreme. The Rebel is an awesome truck, but...
